2024 Annual Raising of the Roses events scheduled for April 20 and April 22

 

[DULUTH, MN] The public is invited to join the City of Duluth Parks and Recreation staff and the Lake Superior Rose Society in the annual Raising of the Roses at the Rose Garden. The open house-style, community event will be held Saturday, April 20 from 9 AM to noon and Monday, April 22 from 9 AM to 3 PM.

 

Whether you are experienced at the task or just want to learn, expert rose raisers will be on hand to teach volunteers about the Minnesota Tip Method, a process that protects tender roses from the harsh conditions of a typical Duluth winter. After roses overwinter, they are then raised in the spring to grow and bloom for the season.

 

Rose Raising is an all ages, no experience needed event. Groups, families, and individuals are invited to participate. If you are interested in participating, please arrive anytime during active event hours at the Rose Garden, located between 12th and 13th Avenues East on London Road. On-street parking and the parking lot east of the Rose Garden will be available. Dress for the weather. All tools and supplies will be provided, including work gloves.
